If you're 62 or over and have a rent-regulated apartment, the landlord has restrictions on evicting for personal use...

On behalf of McAdams Law on Monday, December 27, 2010.

Under rent stabilization, the landlord can deregulate an apartment for his or her personal use or the use of a family member. You have defenses against this because a property owner must still prove that the premises are to be used for the stated purpose. In addition, as a senior citizen, the landlord would be required to find you a similar replacement apartment, at an equivalent rent, in the same neighborhood.
